  2. Outline • What is Google Scholar? • When Google Scholar is best to use? • Coverage in Google Scholar SUL – Jane Chen

  3. What is Google Scholar? Google Scholar provides a simple way to broadly search for scholarly literature. From one place, you can search across many disciplines and sources: peer-reviewed papers, theses, books, abstracts and articles, from academic publishers, professional societies, preprint repositories, universities and other scholarly organizations. Google Scholar helps you identify the most relevant research across the world of scholarly research. SUL – Jane Chen

  4. What is Google Scholar? (contd.) • Literature from journal articles in different subject areas but mainly science and technology related; • Almost all subscription-based full text databases (except 中国期刊网和重庆维普), such as 万方数据，ScienceDirect, Wiley Interscience, ACS, ACM, etc. are searchable in Soochow University – on campus link to full text; • Provides citation information about the article. SUL – Jane Chen

  5. When Google Scholar is best to use? • Initial searching for scholarly literature • When a particular article from a specific journal needed • Quickly find a relevant article - search results sorted by relevancy. Relevance ranking takes into account the full text of each article, the article's author, the publication in which the article appeared and how often it has been cited in scholarly literature. SUL – Jane Chen

  6. When Google Scholar is best to use? (contd.) • Article title • Author name (can use quotes) author:”朱秀林” • Author name and title keywords • Brain storming across many disciplines • Keyword searching • Advanced Search feature. Restrict your search to a single journal, search for a particular author or title, limit by years SUL – Jane Chen

  7. When Google Scholar is best to use? (contd.) Ex. • When we know title of the paper needed走向知识服务：寻找新世纪图书情报工作的生长点 （张晓林，中国图书馆学报，2000，26（5）：32-37） • Quick search on a particular topic‘Carbon Nanotube’– Nice looking resultswith citations coming from different journals including books • Quick overview of works by a particular authorabout Polymerization and written by zhu xiulin • Articles in a particular journal on a particular topic (Using ‘Advanced Keyword’) See: ‘Carbon Nanotubes’ in ‘Nature Materials’http://scholar.google.com/scholar/refinesearch.html SUL – Jane Chen

  24. Coverage in Google Scholar • What is covered? How do we know what is covered? • At present, limited subset of scholarly literature. • It is large, but it’s only a small fraction of what’s available. • What journals and databases are covered? How far back? Can not browse journals • Beta version – growing and has a great potential • See examples in next few slides • Some Humanities and Social Sciences covered but mainly science and technology SUL – Jane Chen
